Be honest, Do you really Enjoy Christmas?
by BluesBrother indansk's christmas tree thread got me to thinking .. in this house we do not celebrate since my wife is still a die hard dub.
i have no complaints about that, it was our joint choice for decades and i an the one that changed .but as witnesses we were always given the negative view of the holiday time :-.
"people feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to".

I am thoroughly enjoying my first Holiday Season. The lights, smells, songs and presents. And it has been wonderful to think of other people's like to find a present. I don't have a lot of money to spend but what I am giving means something. I look at it all as a time to enjoy family and remind people how much you care. I was so excited last night after a day of shopping that I gave our friends their gift already.
I've always wanted to have christmas and now I can have it.

Congratualtions on the start of a new life. It amazed me as well how much love and friendship I have found in this "scary world". I am so happy you and your wife are united in this. You have a wonderful life ahead of you!!

Running through freshly washed sheets hanging on the lines.
Riding my bike to the local soda shop and then the park, without fear of being stolen.
Eating apples off the tree and carrots and tomatoes fresh out of the garden.
Building snowmen and having snowball fights.

Question on fading
by ldrnomo inmy wife and i have been staying away from meetings for almost a year now and i was wondering what everyone thinks about taking the next step, which would be going to another kh out of the circuit the cong we went to is in and having the publisher cards sent there and then going for two or three times to the new cong and then just stop.
we are thinking that will give the elders an out because they can get rid of our inactive cards and the next cong won't know us that well so won't really care.. as a former elder and po, we are well known in the area we live so many in the area are wondering what's going on with us and if we go to another cong.
that might make them feel more settled.

Move if you were going to anyway. But don't have the cards sent to the new hall. Then just stop. I did that and have been wondering why no one came to the house with the Halloween then Christmas stuff out.They used to come over quite often with RV's in our neigborhood. I finally realized they don't really know if I was a Witness or not. Other than having to tell my mom who lives an hour away and goes to my old hall, I am scott free. I have to tell Mom because I am sending her Mormon dad an Xmas card this year. Better to have it come from me than him.
Isn't all this trickery silly? If we were all Catholics and wanted to change to Methodist, who would care?
Oh and welcome to JWD!

JW's come to visit.
by lisavegas420 innot me, but i work in an office that has two apartments above the office.
the van pulls up, i look up right into the drivers face and knew i didn't reconize her, or the two women in dresses that got out.
they walked past my door, up the stairs, next to my door.

Maybe they were wanting to count time without actually doing something. Did they know who you were?
Another strange thing in the world of strange people...

Welcome Renae!
We have some in common. My mom cheated and left my dad too in 93. Dad went crazy. He remarried and died in 96.
My hubby sounds like yours. Except that he was a witness and just left. For 8 yrs I tried to do it alone with 2 then 3 kids. The rest if us left last month.I feel the same way you do. I got tired of being bossed around, and having my business being everyone else's business. I risk not having my mom in my life. She back to the "truth" with a vengeance. My brother and sister aren't witnesses. My mom-in-law is the only other one who is a witness in the family and she is fine.
I suggest doing some research on the witnesses. This place is a good place to start. And if you still believe it, read the Bible without the publications. I love the Gospel of John.
Good Luck,

There is so much pain...
by justhuman ini don't know why things in life happened...i don't know why i was born in the most destructive cults ever existed.
my childhood was so miserable...is not nice to see the other kids at your age celebrating xmas and birthdays and other holidays.
my whole world was somewhere between kindom hall and field service with my pioneers parents.. i hardly finished high school because i was supposed to live in the generation that by no means will pass way.

Just, I also understand, to some extent, how you feel. I was also raised in. But fortunately i have a husband saw the light long ago. I only followed recently. Yes, we lost a huge chunk of life. But there is also a huge chunk to be had. You may not live with your kids, but you are still Daddy and very important to them, however much you are with them. Keep up your relationship with them. Daddy's are vital, mine has been gone for too long and I need him still at 34.
There is still beauty to be seen and good times to be had. It just may be a little while till you see it. It's just there waiting for you, patiently. Mourn what you lost, grieve for it, it's normal. And the wide world will be waiting there to welcome you.
Thank you for sharing so much with us, for trusting us that much.
